The TSS Euro Key & Thumbturn Cylinders British Standard Kitemarked TS007 1* - Keyed Alike Pairs is a euro profile cylinder designed specifically for use in residential and commercial doors requiring TS007 1-star security certification. This product caters to locksmiths and door hardware specialists seeking a cylinder that balances robust physical security features with practical operation, ideal for upgrading or replacing euro cylinder locks on uPVC, composite, or wooden doors. Supplied as a pair of keyed alike cylinders, it allows for convenient key management across multiple doors without sacrificing security.
These cylinders incorporate a 6-pin mechanism that enhances resistance to common lock manipulation techniques. The anti-bump, anti-pick, and anti-drill features provide comprehensive protection against forced entry methods frequently encountered in the field. The inclusion of a sacrificial breakpoint on both snap sides is a critical design element that helps prevent lock snapping attacks, a frequent vulnerability in euro cylinders.

Fitment & What to Check
When fitting the TSS Euro Key & Thumbturn Cylinders, verify the cylinder length matches the door thickness and ensures a flush fit with the door furniture. Confirm the cylinder profile suits the door type—uPVC, composite, or timber—and that the thumbturn side aligns correctly with the door’s internal handler side. Checking that the sacrificial breakpoint is correctly oriented towards the outside snap side is essential for effective anti-snap protection. Measure the overall cylinder length and the position of the cam to ensure compatibility with existing lock cases or multipoint locking systems.
Common Ordering Mistakes
- Ordering cylinders with incorrect length resulting in protrusion or internal clearance issues
- Confusing single cylinders with key and thumbturn pairs, leading to operational difficulties
- Neglecting to specify keyed alike requirements when multiple cylinders are needed with the same key
- Overlooking the orientation of the snap side breakpoint which can reduce anti-snap effectiveness
